Reviews

Collider - Ross Bonaime
Black Adam isn’t a full-on course correction for the DCEU, but it is an encouraging new installment in this larger universe. Collet-Serra knows how to present this darkness and antihero in a way that’s effective, while also fleshing out one of the most promising additions to DC’s ever-expanding cadre of characters.

Slant Magazine - Jake Cole
The film has the courage of its convictions, suggesting that violence on behalf of an oppressed people isn’t only justifiable but even moral.
50
Screen Rant - Rachel LaBonte
Though suffering from repetitive plot beats and thin characters, Black Adam is powered by Johnson's performance and its promise of an exciting future.

IGN - Joshua Yehl
Try as it might to capture lightning in a bottle, Black Adam never manages to find its spark.

ScreenCrush - Matt Singer
There could still be some cinematic potential in Black Adam, perhaps in contrasting his grim demeanor with the eternally sunny Shazam in some kind of crossover sequel. But this Black Adam was already a long time coming. And it wasn’t really worth the wait.
